Yeah people act like it’s so easy to get a virus but if you’re even remotely competent it’s pretty easy to avoid

Growing up, a neighborhood kid did this. All the other kids were scared of him and we all used to hide when he came outside to play. No one knows what ever happened to him…he dropped off the face of the earth after leaving home during high school, and his family moved out of the country a year later. Sometimes I wonder what he ever wound up doing….

I hate these people. It’s one thing to be dumb and obstructionist. It’s another to think that being dumb and obstructionist by spewing pure nonsense makes you clever. The fact they think they’re clever damn near gives me a stroke.

“The system accurately reflects what people vote for.” …Boy I have this fun American institution called the electoral college that begs to differ. Trump lost the popular vote but he sure did become president. Further examples? Majority support for the right to abortion in poll after poll but guess what? SCOTIS repudiated decades of precedent and decided it doesn’t exist as a constitutional right, at which point multiple states severely limited the right, often against clearly expressed public sentiment. America is not a democracy and it’s national politics so not serve its people.

Wow, who could’ve ever precicted not vaccinating your kids because you saw your neighborhood drunk stay at home mom who believes in healing crystals “explain” why scientists are wrong was a dumb decision that would lead to this ?

As if we needed further proof that that man is a lunatic and a moron.

Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.

I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.

No their ads told me they’re the heroic guardians of my privacy.

This is the type of high-brow conversation that keeps me on Lemmy.

Hello, and forgive me for throwing in a text post. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a newcomer! I just got into black metal about 6 months ago, and I’m digging it, mostly Mayhem and Darkthrone and Bathory, so nothing super out-there or unknown. I’d love some recommendations for good bands!

 

Hello, all, it’s Pangolin again. I was thinking we here could start out own reading club! My thoughts for how this could work:

  1. Once a month, we decide what to read—whether we choose an epic poem, a collection, or something else—by creating a post, making suggestions, and deciding via upvote. (Obtuse, but I can’t figure out how to make polls/if doing so is possible in Lemmy right now.)

  2. We create a separate post on which we can discuss our chosen work(s) until the end of the month.

  3. We do this for as long as people are interested.

So: if you’re interested, please comment your suggested reading for August! Also feel free to criticize this idea/suggest ways to improve it!

 

Hello, fellow fediverse poetry lovers! Like the title suggests, who are your favorite poets? I figured a post like this could be fun and could help us all discover new poets!

To start things off, I’ll list my top three at the moment:

  1. William Carlos Williams
  2. Pablo Neruda
  3. T.S. Elliot

Happy to elaborate on why I chose any of them or share my recommendations for poems by any of them. More importantly, though, I’d love to hear what you guys think!

 

What do we have here?

Greetings, fellow carbon-based life forms. I’ve gon ahead and created Rimjob Steve: a place for wholesome posts/comments by those with inappropriate/rude usernames! If you’re familiar with the original subreddit, you get the idea. If not, I have posted an example in the new Lemmy community!

Why did I make this?

I really enjoyed the subreddit!

Who is Pensivepangolin?

I’m literally just some person.

Right now I’m the only mod, and I’m not affiliated with the subreddit in anyway, other than as someone that enjoyed it when they still used Reddit. I’m more than willing to bring people on to moderate it if the community gets an real volume of users! I’m also more than happy to answer any questions! Also if any mod of that sub ever winds up seeing this and wants to contact me, please feel free to hit me up on here. I’m going to be setting up a mastodon account shortly, and I’ll edit the post to include it when that’s done!

 

Can someone explain the extreme hype behind this WAD without spoiling it too badly? I’m super curious. I know you’ll all say “just play the game” but I am not at a point in life where I have the ability to do so, unfortunately.
